Ugh, on the rare occasion when my boys' school contacts me to do something, like consent to them taking part in a field trip, I'm usually presented with some hokey proprietary webservice from a 'plucky' NZ company. It's inevitably hosted in the US, behind CloudFlare, with endless Google, Facebook, and other iffy dependencies (looking at my uMatrix extension) to other foreign services. Why can't they just be local, libre solutions funded by the Ministry of Ed, hosted by some NZ company here?
